Indium(III) Isopropoxide is an organo-metallic compound. Indium(III) Isopropoxide uesd as a hydrogen transfer catalyst for conversion of benzylic alcohols into aldehydes or ketones via Oppenauer oxidation. Indium(III) Isopropoxide also can be used as metal precursor[1][2].
Indium(III) isopropoxide as an Oppenauer?oxidation catalyst, and the conversion of primary or secondary alcohols into the corresponding aldehydes or ketones was promoted at room temperature using pivalaldehyde as an oxidant[1].
